Her

This is a poem for a contest I am participating in.

I can still remember

Sometime last December

The day I met a stranger

So innocent yet full of danger

Her skin was so fair

Contrasting her gorgeous black hair

She had the perfect smile

And her own cute style

My heart felt as though it would explode

As she looked up at me and time slowed

I freaked and started to hurry away

But she just smiled and told me to stay

I was obedient and did as she said

While trying not to drop dead

She asked me what I came to buy

I told her I just came to drop by

I realized my time with her was too short

I really wish I had some support

"How much for two chickens?" I asked

She replied, "They're going pretty fast."

I watched her forehead wrinkle

As she was calculating and then said just a nickle

I "accidentally" gave you an extra dime

So I see you again and read you this rhyme

Very nice Lydia! I enjoyed the smoothness of this story; easy to read. Reminded me of my month in South Korea at the markets. You did a nice job using all 10 words. Nothing seemed forced. Wonderful job! Thank you for entering the 10 Words I Give Contest. Hope to see you next round!!
